Because Army-Navy is better than Michigan-Ohio State, the Triple Option always trumps the Run and Shoot, and college football is most nearly itself when it's played by actual student athletes.

Just for Fun: College Football Facebook Groups

If we can't all agree on the BCS formula, the toughest conference, or the supposed merits of reading five different preseason guides each week, then at least we can all agree on something. That is that Facebook is a hilarious way for college football fans and players to express themselves, and not necessarily always in productive ways. Aside from allowing me to "poke" Navy slotback Zerbin Singleton or to buy "Adam Ballard 4 Heisman" shirts, it also gives college football fans an avenue to express their unique rooting interests. And no, we're not talking the "OMG Brady Quinn have my babies" or "UR TEAM SUX" type rooting interests. No, dare I say the college football fan has evolved past this. So here's the deal. I've searched through just about every FBS (yes dammit I use the new acronym) team and highlighted some of the best facebook groups related to that team that I found. Your team doesn't have a group? Well, I guess you and your university's student body have failed your football team, haven't they?

Note: I usually try to keep this blog classy and PG rated, but obviously a few of these group exhibit, uh, some of the stronger passions of college football fans. Keep in mind all these groups are actual facebook groups (you can;'t make stuff up as good as this), and I'm not endorsing any of them. So basically, I don't want to get the CFR treatment and have a million screaming 'Bama fans telling me how much of an idiot I am.

I guess I’m not quite sure why there is so much animosity towards him. He has done what he has supposed to do…WIN. It’s not his fault that the MSM makes a bigger deal out of SC’s success than it should.

And because of that success he is under the microscope more than others so his every move is scrutinized. Why not just celebrate the success and leave it at that.

I personally am not a fan of Caroll, but that has more to do with his NFL days (I'm a Bills fan) than anything else. I think most people who loathe him nowadays do so because they find his "player’s coach" personality annoying. At least that's my best guess. Some of it may have to do with him being a mediocre NFL coach as well, which leads people to believe his success at USC has less to do with his coaching ability and more to do with the quality of recruits he brings in. But than again you’re the SC guy, so you probably have a better idea of this than I do.

While I have no problem with Pete Carroll the USC-college coach who at least seems to run a fairly-very clean program for a Top rated team.I too recall the one moment that makes me think negative and that was when he had the audacity and inmaturity to give a Dolphin placekicker and team the choke sign after missing a field goal.The other fact that he coached the hated Jets who was typically overrated (as bad as they were)at the time also did not help.I think he is an excelent (great) college coach as he has that youthful look and excitement and runs a good program.He seems to relate well and is tough enough on a group of kids that could be tough to handle.While he gets top notch blue chippers-he still has to handle them and make them listen too.
